I've been using erytop cream for my acne for about a week, but I'm not really happy with how it's working. Is there something better I could try? I'm 19 and my skin is really sensitive.

I've been dealing with pimples on my face and body, and I've heard doctors refer to it as acne. For the past two weeks, Ive been taking Hamdard Safi, and it looks like it's helping clear up my acne. However, I'm concerned because Ive read and heard from some folks, including a few doctors, that Safi might have a lot of arsenic, which could be bad for your body, especially your kidneys. Can you shed some light on whether it's actually safe to keep taking Safi?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.

I'm really concerned about my very deep acne scars and was wondering how effective laser treatment might be. Are there any side effects to worry about with this treatment? How many sessions do you think it usually takes to see results for acne scars? Also, if you have any idea, how much would one session typically cost in Bangalore? Are there any specialists you would recommend for laser treatment?

Laser treatment for acne scars can be very effective, especially for deep scars. It works by stimulating collagen production to help improve the appearance of scars. Common side effects may include redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. The number of sittings required for acne scar treatment can vary depending on the severity of the scars, but typically multiple sessions are needed for optimal results. In Bangalore, the cost of one sitting for laser treatment of acne scars can range from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 8000, depending on the type of laser used and the clinic. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or a specialist in laser treatments for acne scars to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
